Is it just me??? It’s all pretty cringe at this point. Have to totally disagree on this. I realise I was lucky enough and old enough to see them qualify for that competition by winning the league title the previous season and then of course win it. (There was no "fourth is the new first" back then) and I went to all the home legs and watched the final on telly. Happiest of happy days. The thing is, we won the highest honour a club side can achieve; we ruled half the football world, so to speak. Let that sink in. Will we ever do it again ? No, I doubt it. Should we recognise it as the pinnacle of the Club's achievements ? Absolutely. Edited June 24, 2022 by mottaloo 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a m ole Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 At this point I genuinely hope it’s an abstract yellow square just to piss off anyone born earlier than 1990. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May-Z Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Reading the release it looks like it'll be a round badge, with 'Aston Villa FC' instead of AVFC and will probably do something to the style of the lion for simplicity and its colour so the contrast on the badge is easier to see. I prefer a shield instead of a badge. Maybe they could do that with a claret lion or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which one mate? I like the round badge, I just don’t like some of modern versions of it but I’ve done a search of yours but can’t find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa89 Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Hopefully the new one doesnt have the cringe star on it and is more of a classic style. The 'prepared' can be binned off too. I expect to be disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mottaloo Posted June 24, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 24, 2022 Okay....sorry....but I can't bite my lip on this any longer. Cringe ?? What is cringe about the star ? Retiring a youth team player's shirt number ? Sure. Handing out clappers to fans - see Leicester or Fulham. Yes. The star shows we are a member of an exclusive club. What the f*** is cringe about that ?! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

est1874 Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 (edited) I agree with the calls to get rid of the acronym and replace with ASTON VILLA as we have the finest club name in football However, the change to 'AVFC' was a full club branding choice as opposed to just a crest/badge choice, and if we do that I'd like to see us update all the social media so that the twitter and instagram handles aren't @avfcofficial but @astonvilla Whatever we do should be consistent across the board and we do want our fine name to be everywhere as visible as possible.

Xela Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 (edited) They'll go for a simple clean design that plays well on social media and digital channels. A lot of car companies have had new logos recently, majority to simpler designs. See how they are all cleaner (apart from Peugeot!)

It’s bad enough from other fans but for it to be called cringe by some of our own that we celebrate so much is a little disheartening. I certainly don’t disrespect the achievement. I just get a bit tired of everything being about the European Cup win. A week can’t go by without seeing something about it. I feel like being a Villa fan can get a bit like obsessions over the wars. Does it really have to be like 50% of what this club is about? I’m not saying ‘move on’ but do we really have to have a kit that harks back to 1982, a badge that harks back to 1982, a star to remind us of 1982, 1982 on the away kit, etc etc. We are so much more than that one cup win but it feels like everything has to reference it. Maybe I’m just being grumpy but it has started to irk me a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't love the current badge but those stripes were an abomination. IMO that crest looked awful on every single shirt it appeared on, and I was so relieved when it was gone. Just a shame we didn't replace it with better, is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
